I guess my point was that for a second owner the 770 can't be beat. It's
one tough hombre. My 600 is a great machine, but it's more likely to show
the effects of hard, daily usage: doors fall off, the "skin" peels...
They are both great machines. The 770-like the earlier, 701-is a very
special notebook.

The 600 may be flimsy in comparison to a 770, sure.
But it is still a well-built machine compared to just about any
other vendor. My 600X feels like a tank compared to some Toshiba
laptops I use at work.
Microsoft must think they are reliable, too. I was leery of buying
a 600 series until I took a MS training course on W2K. They had
almost 50 600E's set up for attendees to use. They are lugged
from town to town in big boxes.
